I've installed DSL on HD (468/DX4) with some workarounds. I putted the HD into my workstation for the install, as the 468 doesn't support CD and the floppy doesn't work. Anyway I got it. I can stop fluxbox and work on the console.
BUT: I can't change the Xserver-settings with xsetup.sh I can run it, but nothing seems to happen. If I restart X I got the same wrong resolution and my COM-mouse doesn't work.
Any ideas? Would be great!

P.S: I hate VI(M). Are there any other editors installed?Editors - Try nano from command line. e.g. nano config.txt
How much ram do you have in the 486 box? Does booting dsl using the option fb800x600 help your resolution issue?
73 ke4ntThanks for the hint with nano! Gona try it.
RAM: 48MB and 120MB SWAP I think this is not the big problem, as fluxbox starts. I can see the desktops and the Menu with the CPU and RAM-usage.
Sorry, but where can I use the command fb800x600 ? Is fb a link to fluxbox?Ah, fb is an abrev for fluxbox? So
Code Sample
fluxbox 800x600
isn't the clue. It returns:
Code Sample
BaseDisplay::BaseDisplay: connection to xserver failed. Fluxbox: unknown error.
But nano seems to be great!
simbfb800x600 It is an option for starting up LiveCD.. sri
If I had read more carefully, I'd see that you have a HDInstall.
Without a cdrom to test this setting easily, I'm spinning my wheels here.
For a possible fix to your com-mouse issue..
try deleting the file called /dev/mouse, then making a link from /dev/ttyS0 ( for com 1 ) to /dev/mouse , like this..
